Antiphlogistic - There used to be an ointment called "Antiphlogistine" allegely efficacious
in threatment of inflammation. The directions clearly stated that it was "for external
application only" meaning on the skin. One of my wife's patients applied it to her private
parts, and when she came down the street, her feet were hardly touching the pavement.
Applied to the private parts the ointment was decidedly "phlogistic".
